18.1 EPS MODE (OFF GRID) In the event of a power failure, or start-up in OFF-Grid mode, if the EPS function is active, the inverter is able to supply energy - coming from the PV and stored in the batteries - to critical loads connected to the LOAD connection port.
CHANGE-OVER SWITCH In case of maintenance of components of the photovoltaic system or in case of an inverter that cannot be used, it is recommended to install a change-over switch so that the loads normally connected to the inverter's load line can be fed directly from the grid.
In the event of a power blackout, the alternating voltage supplied by the mains will be lost. This condition will cause the internal contacts of the hybrid inverter to switch over which, once the set activation time has expired, will continue to supply an alternating voltage of 400V to the LOAD output, supplying power only to the critical loads according to the availability of the batteries and PV system.
